22.01.2022 All trimed up and ready for final cure.

21.01.2022 Sierra stylus twist pens. Roses locally photographed by Casey from her Mother's garden. Then I've cast them in resin before turning to shape and polishing. These can be personalised with name. Orders in by the 30th April. $30 or $35 personalised, local pickup or $10 for express postage.

20.01.2022 Number 1 for today. Tidying up some orders...

20.01.2022 Expression of interest. I have an opportunity to get a hold of some timber blanks from the uk and wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a pen made from timber either from the Mk1 Tardis that was created for the film Dr Who and the Daleks, it was constructed in 1965 or Oak frame paneling from Gloucester Cathedral located in the south west of England that was used for much of the filming of Harry Potter. These will only be put on premium high quality pen styles and will come in a pen display timber box including a certificate fo authenticity. Estimated price from $100 to $150 as a guide only as this will depend on the pen type used.

19.01.2022 Pinecones in purple and white. One for a bolt action pen and one for a streamline pen. Now to wait....

18.01.2022 A customer order going out today... Stainless steel braided fountain pen. Braided hose cast in epoxy resin under pressure, turned, and finished. Really happy with the outcome of this one as they have their challenges..

18.01.2022 All sold. The 3 Dr Who themed pens I finished today. Left to Right.. Ultra C'gar, Professor and a Victorian pen. I kept the knot in the shorter ones and they are both cross cut so a little darker in colour.

18.01.2022 Only a couple today, Paua Shell (abalone) on an upgraded Ultra C'gar pen. Can not take full credit as the blank was made by a fellow crafts person, I completed the process with trimming, turning, polishing and assembly. You can not fully comprehend the detail in this pen with out seeing it in person, each shell was individually placed, glued, degased and then set in high quality resin under pressure. $135.

17.01.2022 I'm so happy to be a part of the 'Pens for the troop' initiative. A nice read if you are interested.

17.01.2022 Turned this one today while waiting for my unique blanks from the UK to turn up. I've been able to obtain a good supply of Jack Daniel's pen blanks, so doing some up to make Christmas presents. They will be $50ea (pen only) or $55 (In a velvet pen case). Postage $10 otherwise free pick up from Toowoomba.

17.01.2022 A couple weeks ago I had a blow out, Mallee Burl. Decided to add a bit of resin to it and make it a hybrid. I'm really happy how it came out.

17.01.2022 As you know I was gifted 12 pen blanks from Geoff Burrows (The Burl Shed) on the condition I would turn 2 into pens and pay if forward to 2 special people doing great work for the community. Today I had the privilege of gifting 2 pens to 2 ladies from Angel Rescue Toowoomba, Carol Snell and her assistant Nat. Carol started this rescue just on 10years ago and after meeting with her could see her passion for her cause. She organises a team of around 60 foster families that take care of these homeless animals until such time as they get adopted. She also operates a fundraising group to raise funds to help with desexing, food and other important items. click on the link to take a look at her group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/284438018334541

12.01.2022 $25. Polyester resin - Black slimline premium pen kit.

11.01.2022 Thought I would put myself out of my comfort zone and try and do a few videos on the process of making a slimline pen with a plain acrylic blank. There is lots of different ways to make a pen and it depends on the pen type and material you are using but this is what works for me. Let me know if you want to see more or if you want to see a 30 to 40 minute live pen turning.

11.01.2022 Literally me, but turning pens instead.

11.01.2022 Thought this was funny.

11.01.2022 A shop pic. First of the Dr Who and the Daleks Tardis blanks turned and polished, nearly ready to assemble. Expecting a blue colour? This one was from the police sign, so had black paint on it. The exterior all gets turned down. Certainly not the nicest of timbers to turn but it sure does tell a few stories...

11.01.2022 Just pulled out my collection of Tasmanian pen blanks I got when I was there last. These will be for the bolt action pen special I will do Fathers Day shortly. Which one will I do first?

11.01.2022 I've spent a bit of time working a flyer about pen styles. My first attempt.

01.01.2022 Last one for the day... I got a huge surprise once I cut this one in half and seen the grain. Pheasant wood from one of the other Australian Turners, Casey Giddins. I just had to finish it but it got too dark for a nice picture.
